DOWNTOWN RIVERFRONT <br />LAND USE COMPONENTS <br />CA 19-1, RA 19-1, Z 19-5, WG 19-3, ST 19-3, and SDR 19-2 April 19, 2019 <br />The City's land use code (Eugene Code, Chapter 9) specifies the procedure and criteria to be used in <br />considering this proposal, consistent with the City's acknowledged comprehensive plan. This land use <br />application follows specified amendment and permit procedures and fulfills all applicable approval <br />criteria to demonstrate such compliance. In fact, these City-initiated amendments and related land use <br />applications are being reviewed concurrently according to the highest application type (Type V), <br />which involves the most comprehensive, formal review process afforded by the City's land use code. <br />As relevant here, the process for adoption of these amendments also complies with the state's <br />administrative rules under Goal 2, for Post Acknowledgement Plan Amendments (see OAR 660-018). <br />There are no exceptions to Statewide Planning Goal 2 required, and the record shows that there is an <br />adequate factual basis for these amendments, including an extensive record of public participation to <br />date. <br />The Goal 2 coordination requirement is met when the City engages in an exchange, or invites such an <br />exchange, between the City and any affected governmental unit and when the City uses the <br />information obtained in the exchange to balance the needs of residents. To comply with the Goal 2 <br />coordination requirement, the City will engage in an exchange about the subject of these plan <br />amendments with all the affected governmental units. Specifically, the City will provide notice of the <br />proposed action and opportunity to comment to Lane County, Springfield, and the Oregon Department <br />of Land Conservation and Development. The proposed amendments are therefore consistent with <br />Statewide Planning Goal 2. <br />Goal3 -Agricultural Lands: To preserve and maintain agricultural lands. <br />Pursuant to OAR 660-015-0000(3) agricultural lands do not include lands located within <br />acknowledged urban growth boundaries (UGB). The entirety of the subject site is located within <br />Eugene's UGB. This Goal is not applicable to the proposal as the subject area and actions do not affect <br />any agricultural plan designation or use. Therefore, this Goal is not relevant, and the proposed <br />amendments do not affect compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 3. <br />Goal 4 - Forest Land: To preserve forest lands. <br />Pursuant to OAR 660-006-0020, Statewide Planning Goal 4 is not applicable within UGBs. The entirety <br />of the subject site is located within Eugene's UGB. This Goal is not applicable to the proposal as the <br />subject area and actions do not affect any forest plan designations or use. There are no forest lands <br />related to the proposed amendments and zone change. Therefore, this Goal is not relevant, and the <br />proposed amendments do not affect compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 4. <br />Goal 5 - Natural Resources. Scenic and Historic Areas, and Open Spaces: To protect <br />natural resources and conserve scenic and historic areas and open spaces. <br />The following Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR 660-023-0250) is applicable to this Post- <br />Acknowledgement Plan Amendment (PAPA) request: <br />OAR 660-023-0250 <br />(3) Local governments are not required to apply Goal 5 inconsideration of a PAPA <br />unless the PAPA affects a Goal 5 resource. For purposes of this section, a PAPA <br />would affect a Goal 5 resource only if. <br />City of Eugene FINAL SUBMITTAL 16 <br />
